the drivers doors "soft close" feature stopped working today..all other doors are fine...any ideas?....warranty just went out last month...time to get rid of her...

 

Its almost always the pump...even if its just one door because of the way the manifold is made.

 

same problem in My CL, warranty picked it up at a 1400 dolla cost, Sell that hoe and get a new whip





ALi

 

THe pump is only $450.....

 

but its getting to the pump thats a real choir, no




ALi

 

time to dump that old useless ho'!!

 

samething happened to me dealer said $950 to fix, part was $350 crazyy but when they looked at it the messed up my door so now my trunk pops open when ever it wants to, dont have time to do it my self why pay $950 for $350 part

 

no need for all that timer might have been set off....just reset the computer and it will work again.......

 

I had similar problem on the driver side doors, on my 2003 S430, all I had to do is reset (you might need to replace) a fuse in the right rear seat fuse box.

 

How do you reset the computer?

 

I know you can do it with CarSoft, some reason the pump may have ran too long and it trips, my car did it due to a vacuum leak. One of my rear doors does not work. The code it pulls is for the door module, not the pump. Just wondering if that sounds right. Going by the previous post it still maybe the pump.

 

easy way to reset computer is unplugg battery for 1 min and reconnect.

 

WHAT HE SAID JUST PULL THE FUSE FOR PSE PUMP AND SEE IF IT WORKS AGAIN

 

how do i know which fuse it is

 

Forget the fuse. Just disconnect the battery, wait a few minutes, reconnect, start the car, if you see errors on display (usally BAS,ABS.......) just turn steering far left then far right, recalibrate windows and sunroof by opening all and closing all and you are good to go. If you have a problem with the pump then the problem will return and that's when you know you need to visit workshop. Good luck.

 

thanks boss...keep you guys posted

 

this happened to me as well. they had to replace the pump behind the radio/nav control. then they had to replace a door module in my drivers door i believe. all was covered under the starmark warr, but can't imagine what it would have cost w/o the warranty.

 

This is actually a common problem according to my dealer, and it just happens to happen right after warranty is over

Replacing the pump will fix, but it is expensive...... you're looking at about $1k

 

The closing assist pump has safeties for time and pressure/vacuum. There is an excellent article on its operation (at least on the 140 body)

I dont see any point to fix this problem if you have it.

Just slam the doors rofl.

 

Before replacing the pumps or anything, why not try the resetting fuse first? (which in my case fixed both driver side doors for me =-)) I can take a pic of the fuse if anybody still care...

 

wouldnt mind trying if you can show me which fuse...i dont feel like paying 1k+ so imma jus slam doors for now

 

just unplugg the battery.

 

haha same here

 

The fuse box is under the right back seat behine the light plate, its the yellow fuse labled 20, hope this helps...
